Tomorrow (BARGAIN DAY) The NEW IDOL of the screen! Tar Meet tobacco growers Are Adopting a definite program, of fertilizing, cultivating and handling 1 their crop with a resulting improvement in quality and yield.

"We are attempting to learn everything possible that will aid the tobacco grower in producing a quality leaf that is in demand by the manufacturer," says E. Y. Floyd, extension specialist in tobacco production and responsible In a large measure for the successful program now being followed. "A majority of the 1 best growers are now using the kind of fertilizer mixtures found to be best by our field demonstrations. These growers are also using the ridge method of cultivation and the varieties which have proven their superiority.

Interest In the straw method 'of covering plant beds Is also on the increase and will be used widely next season." Typical results from following the extension program in growing tobacco may be seen In the reports from farmers who have followed these methods. For instance, Jn Columbia County where 20 million pounds of leaf are being produced annually, 76 per cent of the growers are using certified seed of the Cash, White Stem and Orinoco varieties. The straw covering for plant beds was a big success In Duplin County last year and in spite of blue mold, a Rose Hill farmer grew enough planta on 100 square yards of bed to plant 12 acres. The ridge method of cultivation was worth $50,000 to the growers of Jones county in 1932 and the better returns of leaf by using the fertilizer formula recommended by the Extension specialist was valued at $26,000 by the growers. Other growers have reported that they can improve their land tund still use it for tobacco by balancing the fertilizer after plowing under legumes.

Court Denies Clemency To Ruth Judd Phoenix, March Ruth Judd tonight was denied commutation of her death sentence for the slaying of Agnes Anne Lerol by the Arizona board of pardons and parole. The board, however, granted her a reprieve until April 21 to avoid execution of the death sentence on Good Friday. The board addressed a letter to Gov. B. B.

Moeur In which It said: "This board respectfully declines to make any recommendation to the governor of the state of Arizona for a commutation of sentence." Governor Moeur, unden the Arizona law, has no power to commute the sentence -without recommendation of the board of pardons and paroles. Nazis Halt Anti-Jewish Boycott in Germany Berlin, April national boycott committee of the Nazi party tonight officially ordered the anti-Jewish boycott interrupted until 10 a. m. next Wednesday. It was generally doubted this drastic racial warfare would be resorted to again by the Hitlerites.

The order, in fact, was superfluous aa fair as the boycott itself was concerned, for the picketing and boycott of Jewish shops and stores lasted only one day, ad plan- nod. The country was returning to normal today, although hundreds of anti-Jewish posters still were to bo seen on shops and along the streets. Thank You FOLKS!

tWOglKtoili today conferred with President Roosevelt regarding general revenue legislation. After leaving the White House, Doughton, who Is man of the House ways and means committee, expressed the opinion there would be no general revenue legislation at this session but said Mis committee next Week would launch Into a study of taxation. A special subcommittee during the summer made an extended survey of the taxation field and has filed a report showing where the the federal and state ments are competing with each other In raising revenue. Owing to the fact that Doughton will bring the question of double taxation to the attention of his committee it is believed that the President favors legislation to more clearly define the fields of taxation for federal and state governments. Doughton said his bill to allocate a portion of federal tobacco tax betck to states which would not tax the product would probably not be called up for action until' next session.

Doughton also discussed with the President his proposal to lower postage rates to the two-cent level. The North Carolina solon said he would confer with Postmaster- General Farley Tuesday. regarding his proposal after which time he would announce that steps will be taken at this session. "At least I hopei we can lower the rate on local letters," he said. President Roosevelt conferred with the ways and means chairman at lunch time.

During the conference a White House butler served the President his lunch in the executive office and he ate while talking with the North Carolinian. This is one of the new customs at the White House. Doughton praised Roosevelt's alertness In grasp- Ing problems confronting him and said It was wonderful how the chief executive is standing up under the strain. "The President looks fine and his smile IS a captivating as ever," Doughton declared. Navy Recruiting Quota Increased C.
